The Human Ecology Fund was the front organization for CIA-funded research into interrogation, coercion, and brainwashing. Founded in 1954 as the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, it was renamed in 1961. It funneled grant money to behavioral scientists and psychiatrists to benefit CIA programs such as MKULTRA. It was also connected to research in the area of anthropology. The organization closed in 1965.
Neurologist Harold Wolff of Cornell University Medical College was president of the organization, with cardiologist Lawrence Hinkle as its vice president. Cornell subsequently became a hub for Human Ecology's operations. Other board members included Adolf Berle, JD of Columbia University, Dr. Joseph Hinsey of NY Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, Dr. Carl Rogers of University of Wisconsin, and Dr. John Whitehorn of Johns Hopkins.
Grant monies were disbursed to various academic institutions, including Cornell and Columbia University. Some research was apparently unrelated to CIA areas of interest, likely to establish the fund's apparent legitimacy. The academic researchers involved were generally unaware or deceived about the funding source. The Geschicker Fund was a similar front for CIA research on biochemical and medical research at Georgetown, Stanford and MIT. During MKULTRA's existence 44 U.S. and Canadian universities received CIA funding, with the full list still classified.
